If you need to copy
or move metadata-bound libraries in the file system, we recommend
that you use SAS, not operating system commands.
Note: An exception to this guideline
is that using a host copy command to back up or restore physical data
to the same directory is not problematic.
For example, if you use SAS (the COPY
procedure) to copy a table, the new table takes on the nature of its parent library as follows:
-
-
Copying a table into an unbound
library yields an unbound table.
The following topics
depict the security impact of copying or moving metadata-bound libraries
and tables.
